=A Taste of Portugal: Beyond Port
When we think of Portuguese wine, Port is often the first thing that springs to mind. But beyond those famous fortified wines lies a wonderfully diverse world of crisp whites, characterful reds and some seriously exciting grape varieties just waiting to be discovered.
Join our Stephen and our friend Robert from Neill Wines in our Ormeau Road tasting room for an evening exploring the wonderful wines of Portugal. From the fresh, vibrant whites of Vinho Verde to the rich reds of the Douro and the lesser-known delights of regions like Dão and Alentejo, we'll discover what makes Portuguese wine so distinctive, and why it deserves a little more attention.
Along the way, we'll pair each wine with a carefully chosen Irish artisan cheese, exploring how Portugal's wonderfully varied wine styles can create some seriously delicious combinations.
What to expect
– A guided tasting of a selection of Portuguese wines
– Irish artisan cheeses selected to complement each wine

Whether you're already a fan of Portuguese wine or your experience begins and ends with a glass of Port, come along and discover why there's so much more to Portugal than meets the wine glass.
